Very good to have him back. The quality of his distribution in particular has been sorely missed. Some games have felt like watching a tennis match with the ball flying in the air from one end to the other.

Richards always does a solid defensive job, but he rarely wastes possession. Richards has the ability and composure to accurately find a player to bring the midfield into the game.

He seemed to have a free role, covering left back when Bennett was going forward.

In defence he seemed to have the job if man marking their number 27 (Gooch). He was never more than 2 yards away from him and followed him everywhere. Resulting in their lad being substituted on the hour as he couldn't get a sniff.

Well played Jazz.

Possibly the defensive midfielder we have been looking for? I'd certainly try him just in front of the back 4

Not for me, doesn't offer enough going forward. I can see why Peltier is used in certain games though. He is a strong player.

I like my fullbacks to be able to defend... I know that’s old fashioned

I don't think Jazz is a bad defender. They have to be able to defend but now I think it's also important they can offer something going forward. Horses for courses, but if I could only keep one it would be jazz.

Our best full back by a country mile even if he is a JB, good to see him back.
